Ugh I knew the earl grey tea was beautiful but it’s even more so in your lighting and video. Those little blue flecks are so cute and pretty! The amber brown translucent body is super beautiful. Wow, congrats with your new job again and these two exclusives are a banger of a celebratory reward! :)
Thank you Lao! The blue is such a cool addition, I love details like that. I'm usually not the biggest fan of a translucent body but it just works so well with the warm and soft amber color. 🤩
I'm happy you got them! I have two of the Benu Earl Grey Tea pens. It's one of my all time favorite pens and it made Benu one of my favorite pen companies for sure. I have one inked with Diamine Sepia, and the other has Teranishi Nostalgic Honey
I put Herbin "lie de thé" in my Benu Earl Grey. Mainly because I in general enjoy Herbin ink.They work well for me in every pen I tested them in. buying from America was so expensive here in Europe, but I am really happy with this pen.
Yeah, the shipping and customs were so expensive, I feel you! I like Lie de Thé a lot, and will definitely try it in this pen! 😊 Glad to hear you're also happy with the pen, it's a lovely writer and beautiful to look at.
Alt-goldgrün will definitely be the next ink I'll try in the Matcha Latte, as well as a blue in the Earl Grey. I feel like these pens won't get a 'forever ink pairing', because there are just too many good options 🤩
Congrats on the new job! And the new pens. I'm waiting on my first Benu to come in. I ordered the Talisman Firefly Stone. Lots of purple & green. It should come in tomorrow. Can't wait!
I adore Benu. I have the Earl Grey (medium nib) and it writes like a dream. The other two I have is AstroGem Leto and Talisman Raven (Gourmet Pens exclusive).
I have both of these pens. I am so happy with them. Eventually I want to get them ground to an EF though. They are sturdy and write lovely though. I inked up my Earl Grey with the same Dominant Industry ink.
I might do that as well at some point, they write great but I think I'd prefer an EF nib on them. They DI earl grey tea ink looks so good with the pen, and I love how both the pen and ink have the same inspiration 😊
congratulations on the shinies 😁They are beautiful, I knew one would be the Matcha one !!! I have been longing for that one since it was released. Same problem here - postage to Australia. I REALLY need that though 💚💚💚
Thank you! 😊 I hope you'll get the opportunity to get one in the future! There are always so many cool exclusive releases in the US, why do they have to do that to us 🤣
I made exactly the same order from Goulet a few weeks ago. I’m so delighted with them - they are even more beautiful in person and write so nicely. I hope you love writing with them!
I had planned to use Wagner for Matcha Latte too, but lost my sample so that’s planned for next month. This time I went for Wearingeul Path and it was PERFECT. Amazing combination. For the Earl Grey I went for Robert Oster x Vanness Hickory Aflame
@@lynnmiller4669 Oh yeah, pen twins! 😁 They really are even more beautiful in person, especially when the sunlight catches the glitter. Had to google those inks but they seem like perfect matches for the pens 😊
Yay!!! Ru, congrats on your beautiful pens. Benu's are some of my favorites. I have the Matcha Latte pen and love it so much. I love all my Benu's. Earl Grey Tea is on my wish list. I have used all kinds of inks, including shimmers and they have performed with them all. I also only have fine nibs in them. Enjoy and thank you for sharing.
Thank you! I'm excited to try shimmer inks in them as well in the future, seems fitting for such sparkly pens. I had heard so many people mention how nicely they write and how comfortable they are, and I'm glad that I 100% agree. 😊
Congrats with your new pens, they are beautiful, perfect match made with your inks. I think in the future we will see lots of other beautiful pen/ink pairings. I did see some interesting colors in your swatch book. Hope to meet you someday at a Dutch Pen Club Meet
Ooh wat leuk, alvast veel plezier ermee! 😊 Die mappen zijn van Muji, volgens mij heten ze business card holders. Maar die kaartjes zijn dus precies dezelfde grootte als een visitekaartje, heel handig.
@@ruonpaper ah, dank je wel! Ze zijn nu uitverkocht, zie ik op de site, maar misschien komen ze wel weer terug op voorraad. Veel plezier met je pennen ✒️🙂
had to comment before even finishing the video, this is so surreal. I'm just now on the age old journey from "ew, benu" to "I need literally 5 benus immediately." I literally JUST clicked off the page completing my Matcha purchase before checking youtube only to have you wave one in my face. What witchcraft is this?

Ooh I have a bottle of Diamine Sepia, definitely need to try that combination 😊 Thank you for watching!
what a gorgeous duo you’ve got! i have the earl grey tea benu as well, it’s one of my favourites. thanks for sharing!! 💛
Thank you! Do you have a favourite ink to use in your earl grey?
@@ruonpaper i’ve been alternating inks but i really liked Teranishi Nostalgic Honey to match the gold glitter :)
Happy new pen day!!!!
Ohhh I love the Benu earl grey, I don't have it but I'd love to.
I put Herbin "lie de thé" in my Benu Earl Grey. Mainly because I in general enjoy Herbin ink.They work well for me in every pen I tested them in.

Congratulations on your new job! What a wonderful way to celebrate. 🎉🖋️
Thank you Jo!
So much fun! Those are beautiful, Ru! Thanks for sharing!
I love your swatch collection! And those pens are so beautiful!
I have both of these pens. I put a blue in the Earl grey and alt gold grun in the Matcha Latte! Both in fine nibs!
Alt-goldgrün will definitely be the next ink I'll try in the Matcha Latte, as well as a blue in the Earl Grey. I feel like these pens won't get a 'forever ink pairing', because there are just too many good options 🤩
Nice pens. I think you nailed the ink parings. Enjoy.
Thank you! 😊
Congrats on the new job! And the new pens.
I'm waiting on my first Benu to come in. I ordered the Talisman Firefly Stone. Lots of purple & green. It should come in tomorrow. Can't wait!
Thank you so much! The Firefly Stone looks amazing - I hope it has arrived by now and that you'll love it!
Congrats on your beautiful pens. I have them too and enjoy them so much. I am sure you will have a good time with them. Thank you for your show.

Congratulations for the gorgeous pens from across the ocean! Enjoy!!! 😊
(Love having a peek to your swatches too! :D)
Thank you!! If I'll make it to a pen meet my swatch card folders are definitely coming with me 😁
Congrats with your new pens, they are beautiful, perfect match made with your inks. I think in the future we will see lots of other beautiful pen/ink pairings. I did see some interesting colors in your swatch book. Hope to meet you someday at a Dutch Pen Club Meet
Thank you! My list of pairings I want to try out is never-ending 🤣 I hope to meet you too someday! Will definitely try to make it to a pen meet soon.
I love these ink journal cards with the drawing of an ink bottle. Could you share a link?
They're by the brand Wearingeul, and they're called 'Ink Color Chart Cards Vertical'. They also have a horizontal version 😊
Ik heb de Earl Grey ook net zelf gekocht 😊 Trouwens, wat een mooie boeken om die kaartjes in te stoppen. Waar heb je die vandaan?
